What is different than this and the original Dr. Bronner's? Which is better to clean the floors with and how much should you use? Thanks.

I think it has a higher PH level, which makes it great for all sorts of household applications, like laundry and cleaning. We love it and use it as the basis for all our cleaning needs, including making an environmentally friendly and safe spray clean. Can't say enough great things about all of Dr. Bronner's products.

I am not too sure about the differences. My dentist provided me with the diamond clean when I bought the unit, and I really like diamond. I like the size (it's compact in brissel size) and shape of the brush.Sorry I couldn't be more help!

I purchased the Roomba $260 at Costco, for the specific purpose for cleaning the carpeting under the Queen waterbed (which is heavy and immovable). The Roomba is a piece of junk whose battery lasted only about a year and needed replacing twice already. Now the entire unit is nonfunctional and I don't want to purchase another one, even though iRobot is willing to sell me a new shell at a discount ($125). Does anyone out there know of any other cleaning appliance or method to clean/vacuum under a large bed that's quick, easy and cost effective? Remember, it's carpeting, not hard wood flooring. Thanks.

I use my Dr Bronners liquid soap and it works like a charm. I have heard of some using dawn dish soap too!

I'm sorry that i can't offer you a comparison. I like how this bissell cleans, i like all the add-on tools, and the heavy duty sturdiness. It's heavy, practically needs its own garage, and is bulky. We think it's worth the effort. Other reviewers who like it helped me select this model, and we don't regret the purchase especially at the reasonable price. Good luck to you!

I just use my swiffer wet jet mop... They have a cleaning solution that is safe for vinyl flooring. Just spray, mop and let dry. I'm a daycare provider so I love that I don't have to worry about spills or cleanups anymore. These floors are super easy to maintain!

Per the recommendation of the man who refinished my hardwood floors, I only use vinegar and water on those floors so in that regard this is better than a swifter product. Overall, this is a tremendous product and in the end will be a money saver since you use the product/quantity/reuse the mop head. I mopped a 20 x 20 ' room taking care around rug and fur iture I about ten minutes and I didn,'t have to vacuum the floor before mopping because it picks everything up and the spinner removes it. Buy it!!

i have original hardwood floors in my home and i sanded and put polyurethane on them. i use this every week for general cleaning. nothing else but this. i also use the regular swifter cleaner, you don't have to buy the one just for wood.. they all work the same. i love it! quick and easy!

So it sounds like the roomba comes first or only. There seems to be more than one model. Which one should I buy for all linoleum and enormous fluffy dog hair piles.(Could be lesser piles if roombaed regularly) Please advise. Thanks.

The Bona Dusting Pad is superior to the Swifter in my opinion. I too tried Swifter Dusting Pads on my wood floors and changed to the Bona Dusting Pad because I always ended up changing dusting pads at least twice every time I dusted my floors. Hope this helps.

Actually I see you have a detailed answer. If you have any need of further info let me know. I like them both. Quiet and well made. There not my Powermatic floor sander but a great product for the niche they fill in my shop.

The professional has a larger canister, wider cleaning path, hardware floor attachment and is a different color.depends on what kind of floors you have. To what you should choose.

It's better to use cleaner first then the refresher. The refresher is used when floors look a little dull. You can use the polish anytime after the floors have been refreshed. I have all solid wood floors and they get dull after a few months. That's when the refresher is best used. Blondie

The 880 has rubber rollers instead of brushes. iRobot says that this means it generates 50% more vacuum suction to pick up debris from your floors. I don't know about that, but what I have found is that the rubber rollers are much easier to clean than brushes. Long hair just moves to the ends of the rollers and coils up neatly, where you can easily just pull it off with your fingers when you take the rollers out. No need for scissors, knives or pliers to clean them up beautifully. Our 880 picks up a lot of dust, so I don't feel that there are any disadvantages to having the rollers in the machine. Great design concept. The 880 has rubber rollers instead of brushes. iRobot says that this means it generates 50% more vacuum suction to pick up debris from your floors.

We returned the Quick and Light and purchased the Hoover Steam-Vac. We have an older Steam-Vac, so I could see the superiority of it to the Quick and Light. The Q&L; had NO rotating brushes. We also have two Hoover Floor-Mates which are great on ceramic or stone floors. I would NOT use either machine on hardwood flooring as the water would eventually cause damage. TIP: Try using hot vinegar water as a cleaner on lightly soiled carpet. The smell of vinegar ( which repulses me ) vanishes immediately. It is a good alternative to the chemically based cleaners which can leave toxic residue. RgN We returned the Quick and Light and purchased the Hoover Steam-Vac.

In general I use these more as a "mop" after using the swifter vac to dust off the floors. It leaves the floors shiny and clean. I use it with the Bona solution.

I personally like this much better than fels Napthpa. I think it cleans better.
